The holiday weeks are always funky and it’s hard to compare them one year to the next. Next week the holidays will be long behind us and I’ll take the numbers more seriously. Nevertheless, it’s not looking good.

If we had a Federal Housing Bank (along the lines of the Federal Reserve Bank) they would be calling for an emergency meeting right now.

New Listings

The latest weeks always get revised up but even accounting for that, new listings hitting the market right now look scary low.

For Sale

The number of single-family houses for sale is down 59% from last year at this time. At least it’s stopped getting worse for one week.

Under Contract

Down a bit but still 20% above last year.

Solds

Only 13% higher than a year ago. That’s the lowest since September… that’s how hot the market has been.
